What Azalea's governing documents say

Azalea Acres, Section III is a single-family home subdivision in Holly Ridge, NC, governed by a homeowners association (Azalea Acres HOA, Inc.). These covenants apply to lot owners and cover land use, building standards, maintenance, and stormwater management. The document is a full set of restrictive covenants, not a partial or ancillary record.

• Land use & building type: Each lot is limited to one single-family dwelling, not exceeding three stories, with a minimum ground floor area of 1,200 sq ft for one-story homes or 800 sq ft for multi-story homes. Accessory buildings must match the dwelling's architectural design.
• Setbacks & location: Buildings must comply with setback lines shown on the recorded plat, with minimum rear setbacks of 15 feet and interior side setbacks of 8 feet. Corner lots have additional restrictions.
• Pets & animals: No livestock or poultry; only customary household pets are allowed, not for commercial purposes. Pets must be confined to the owner's lot by fencing or invisible fencing, and must be leashed when off the lot.
• Fences: Fences may be up to 6 feet tall, made of wood or vinyl (no chain link), and must be natural wood color, white, or another approved color. Fences must be on or near the common property line; no fences are allowed between the front of the dwelling and the street right-of-way without written approval.
• Parking & vehicles: Up to 4 operative vehicles may be parked per lot, but only in driveways or garages. Inoperative or unlicensed vehicles must be kept in a closed garage. No boat or boat trailer may be parked in front of the dwelling. Recreational equipment (e.g., trampolines, pools) is prohibited in the front yard.
• Leasing & rentals: No lot may be leased for less than 30 days, and occupancy is limited to a single family (owner, spouse, children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents, siblings).
• Stormwater management: Each lot has a maximum built-upon area of 7,000 sq ft. A 50-foot vegetated buffer must be maintained adjacent to surface waters. Roof drains must release at the edge of the buffer as dispersed flow. The HOA is responsible for maintaining stormwater facilities.
• Assessments & HOA: Annual general assessment is $150 per lot (as of 2022), with limited common assessments of $50 for certain lots. Assessments may increase up to 25% per year by board vote; larger increases require 2/3 owner approval. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot.
